<p>I was a year after JHS so we may know each other and not know it. </p>
<p>Lots of kids from old time families, including one of my freshman year roommates. When he was flunking math, he received in his college mailbox a copy of the letter sent to his father’s parents when he was flunking math. That was amazing - and it went well with the dozens of bounced checks he’d get in his monthly bank statement. Point is: standards were different then. </p>
<p>As for SAT’s, I was told by my school that I had either the highest or second highest score in my state and it was not 1600.</p>
